A grande Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is 250 calories with 31 g of sugar and 185 mg of caffeine, per the Starbucks nutrition page. A tall is 140 calories, a venti 310, and a trenta 360. Almost all of it is the pumpkin cream cold foam and the vanilla syrup; the cold brew underneath is 5 calories.

All rows are from the Starbucks page linked above, pulled September 7, 2026. Starbucks' default is 2% milk in the sweet cream and, for a grande, two pumps of vanilla syrup in the cold brew itself.

Where the calories come from

The ingredient statement on the Starbucks page lists four parts: cold brew over ice, vanilla syrup, pumpkin cream (vanilla sweet cream blended with pumpkin spice sauce), and a pumpkin spice topping of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. The vanilla sweet cream is cream, milk and vanilla syrup. The pumpkin spice sauce is sugar, condensed skim milk, pumpkin puree, natural flavors, annatto and salt.

Plain Cold Brew is 5 calories and 0 g sugar at every size. So of the grande's 250 calories, roughly 245 are syrup and foam. The foam is the fat: 12 g in a grande, which is where a cream-based topping lands. The sugar is split between the two pumps of vanilla in the coffee and the sauce and syrup inside the foam.

Why the caffeine is lower than plain cold brew

A grande Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is 185 mg, but a grande plain Cold Brew is 205 mg on the same menu. The foam takes up the top of the cup, so there is less coffee in the same 16 ounces. The trenta closes the gap because the foam is a smaller share of a 30 ounce cup. For context, the FDA cites 400 mg a day as an amount not generally associated with negative effects for healthy adults; a trenta is about 80 percent of that on its own. Information, not advice.

Compared to the Pumpkin Spice Latte

People treat these as interchangeable fall orders, but the numbers are not close. A grande hot Pumpkin Spice Latte is 390 calories with 50 g of sugar and 150 mg of caffeine. The cold brew version is 140 calories lighter and 19 g lower in sugar, with 35 mg more caffeine. The PSL is a full cup of steamed milk with four pumps of sauce and whipped cream; the cold brew is black coffee with a layer of foam.

How to order it lighter

The two adjustable pieces are the syrup pumps and the foam. Asking for one pump of vanilla instead of two removes about 20 calories and 4 to 5 g of sugar (Starbucks' own calculator adds 20 calories and 4 g per pump of vanilla on a latte; see the syrup pumps page). Asking for no vanilla in the cold brew leaves the foam untouched, which is the part most people order the drink for. Asking for light foam cuts fat but Starbucks does not publish a figure for that, so treat it as an estimate. Swapping the foam for a nondairy cold foam changes the recipe enough that the numbers above no longer apply.

If you make it at home, the pumpkin cold foam recipe covers the foam, and the caffeine page covers what changes when you brew your own concentrate.
